And that's great for you. Ppl just need to realize that not all coilovers are made with the same amount of backspace. I've seen 17x9+25 P45R's barely clear on s13's with coilover's like Megans. The same thing with 17x9+22 RPF1's on an s14 with Stance's. I'm talking they cleared with like 2mm of space... so little that both owners decided to get slip on spacers anyway beceause it was sooo uncomfortably close.

Like I said, you might get lucky, if you picked a coilover that has more backspace than most. Don't run around telling folks that 17x9+30 will CERTAINLY clear coilovers, because in alot of case, it won't. But +20 certainly will.

255/45 is really tall. Try 255/40 on the rear. /suggestion
I totally agree. 17x9+12 with 235/40 (f) and 17x9.5+12 (r) with 255/40 is a great setup, IMO. Still gonna need some camber and fender pulling in the rear though, but go for it!
